zzzAg New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 12/20/2009 04:19 am Does anyone have an idea of what I have here? I bought this on the ebay as a drilled and filled Walking Liberty half. It looked a lot darker before I cleaned it. It was described as having some gold toning. When I received it it just didn't look right. So I put some tarn-X on it and ... presto. What the heck is this? Could this be a chinese knock-off with the silver plating worn off? Why would anyone go through the trouble of drilling and filling a fake half dollar? Seems like a lot of work to make a 6.00 coin. Report this Post to the Staff
